Today we talk about the origins of the Trinity VanHeddegem Memorial Award.
First awarded after the 2014-15 season, this award is given to recognize the Little Gals Division Rookie of the Year. The award was established by the family of Trinity following her sudden and tragic passing during the first year she played in the league. It had been her dream to be part of the year end slide show but she never got the chance to see her photo on the big screen.
The “TVH” memorial patches on the Golden Gals uniforms – her team- are another recognition of a little girl gone too soon.
